Hi,
I've already gotten a few notes from people, but if anyone else would like to fill me in on this center for the blind that'd be great!
I'm considering going & have already read all through the website, but I can't talk to the director until they get back from convention.
Thanks,
Michelle

Hey, I've never been there, but I heard lots of good things about their program. In the convention, they offered an open house for the Louisiana Center and answered questions from everyone. They got a variety of programs depending on what you need. From what I've heard, they have an evaluation week the first week you go there and then from that evaluation, they will give you an individualized training. I think they also help you find a job related to your career goals or if you want to go to school, they help you with technology training and college preparatory classes.

Yes, the center is top notch, and provides a type of training that is not provided elsewhere, except for the other two nfb centers. It'll both bring out the worst/best in you. *smile*
